[ female announcer ] over 30 delicious flavors at around 100 calories each. yoplait, it is so good. indulge in yoplait light's two new flavors. triple berry torte and black forest cake. a little bit of a tease tomorrow of what's going to come next week; right?

>> there's really chilly air coming later next week for thanksgiving. the question is will it develop a storm for the travel period. we have a long time to look at that. but some of the models do do that. but strong indications that very chilly air will lock in before the end of the month. we could have the second coolest autumn day so far this year tomorrow. with highs in the low 40s but there ought to be a lot of sunshine. then a powerful wind locks in, pushes the temperatures back up again. the winds could gust to 35 miles an hour on friday. kind of a gray old day today. we knocked november's possible sunshine to 68%. but it's ahead of the 40% that's normal in november. temperatures hit 48 at wheeling and at highland park. itit was 48 elkgrove village.

47 at o'hare. that's about normal this time of year. winds are blowing from the southwest there but northwest at midway airport. here are the temperatures across the area. tonight we're starting with some clouds. but the colder air will come in and in the morning flirting with freezing. that's the view from soft village down south. in kansas it snowed there in parts. you see the dusting of snow on our weather bug camera there. some rains at walton, kansas, today. and it was pretty chilly there with good rains. we had one storm. this one missed us to the south. this is missing us to the south as well. and there's another one tracking southward. but these are tugging cool air down. what's happening is the southern flank of cool air reaches into the midwest and these are churning along its perimeter. you see that better here. this is bitterly-cold air.

and these impulses are moving along it. the question becomes how soon will these lay down the cover of snow because it's over the pack that the chilly air dipped into the dakotas today is able to ride farther southward. one thing is for sure. that's an effective barrier of this coming north and raining on us in any way. the rains are moving down the state. these were mixed with snow earlier today in kansas. and the lake effect is turning on. it will probably effect areas from porter county and laporte county the next couple days. this is cold air. these are highs. 37 in the twin cities. as you move north, the highs didn't get above zero today in the yukon. so it's very chilly and these are current temperatures. we're going to start tapping that air with greater frequency in the next week.

but not right away. 41 is our temperature tonight. we'll have a chunk of this low windchill, chilly air coming in tomorrow. and then it'll pull back a bit on friday. give way a bit on saturday, turn cooler and a warmer puff of air sunday and monday before the real chill settles in after that. look at the low temperatures. it's interesting to look at these because you get an idea the expanse of the cool air. here it is. this is the really chilly stuff. the sun set today in barrow, alaska. won't see the sun again until january 21. that's going on all across northern north america. that's why the air mass up here grows cold as the snow pack expands and reflects away what little heat is left at this time of the year. for the short-term we expect the winds to go westerly. that chunk will be shot out of the area over the weekend. that's why we could be up

flirting with upper 50s by late sunday and monday from the looks of things before the chill comes in. so here is the latest storm to track to the south of us. a ridge of high pressure whose north winds come down the lake set up some lake effect rain sleet or snow showers to go into michigan. not a big deal like last weekend's. and here's the packed isobars blowing the warm air back in by the weekend. look at the snows. seattle sits there, portland there. going to be one of these interesting situations where this cold air sends easterly winds up against the mountain slopes there. that could translate to areas around mt. rainier to big snows in the days ahead. and they could get two or three feet of snow because it's going to snow there for several days. kind of an interesting place to see snow stacking up. tonight cloudy, a few sprinkles

or ice pellets. they're largely exiting the area. it's partly cloudy tonight except in parts of indiana and michigan where the lake effect sleet or snow showers may occur. generous sun tomorrow but cool. the second coolest day of the autumn with a high of 42 tomorrow and that's it. that's actually four degrees below normal. cold tomorrow night. 25 inland, 35 on the perimeter. and then friday 53. gusts of wind up to 53 miles per hour. not a good hair day friday. >> no it's not. >> and we'll give you a better look at thanksgiving week coming up. >> thank you, sir. >> see you in ten minutes. >> we'll tell you about miami weather too. for the bears. back to our top story for a moment. the fire in oak lawn that devastated the dresses and the store eva's bridal. i got a half dozen if not more donations or people that would like to donate their recently-

bears going for their third win in a row tomorrow night here on wgn against the dolphins. the game you'll see at 7:00- ish? >> that's what they say. dan roan has taken his talents to the beach. he joins us live. hey, dan. >> what's up micah and mark? if anybody's planning on coming down here that doesn't already have a ticket, forget about it. all the seats and all the airlines are taken. so chicago will be very well represented down here tomorrow night as the bears take on the miami dolphins. we had to come a little early today to kind of break in the hotel but the bears are in town. they arrived 6:00 eastern time tonight. lovie smith debussed in front of the hotel and all the other guys following suit. we saw them loading up into cabs to enjoy a night of fun on south beach. devon hester has sneaked out to be with some of his family.

tomorrow's a big game in terms of milestones for a couple of the bears players too. for one, brian urlacher, four tackles away from mike singletary's all time franchise record. he could care less about that, he wants to win the game. and devon hester is close to a milestone that could be something. his next return gives him the nfl record. what if he did it in his hometown of miami? >> it's not an individual goal. it's a team effort thing. and when those guys see that and understand it, that's when they put in the willing and drive to do the best they can. and end of the day, i'm not going to say it's me. >> i think devon would be excited. i know his family would definitely be excited. this team will be greatly excited for him. we're working for that. we were short maybe 40 yards away. hopefully we can get it.

>> we realize where devon is, a chance to do something no one in the history of the game has done. all of our players have noticed that too. we want to get it for him. we don't talk a lot about individual goals. but this is one we want to get that record for him. >> of course the big question is as it is every week will the dolphins actually kick the football to hester. that's something we'll explore tomorrow at 6:30 when we see you for the miller lite thursday night count down, our pregame show here on wgn. that goes at 6:30 with the game to follow at 7:00. then after the game an expanded version of the wgn news. we'll have all the post game and everything else from miami. tune in tomorrow 6:30 right here on wgn. circus trips are underway. the bulls in game two of theirs tonight. in san antonio. having won in dallas last night and things are going well
